Sunday 19th June

Yesterday evening, James saw an Osprey fly over his house while he out for a short walk up the road from Mill cottage. This morning, Pat, Bob's other half had found a predated young Buzzard dead on the ground while she was out walking her dog. Bob wondered if it had fallen out of its' nest on to the ground and possibly killed by a Stoat. Here today since mid morning, the weather has gone downhill with a dreich, miserable sort of a day following there after, not really a day for going bird watching!!!
